Non-priority Spousal Visa Timeline

Awe cheers larrabee <3

Not only was it a good day cause of the email, but I finally figured out how to get Luna (cat in my icon) to cuddle me. Good day thus far.

It just keeps getting better! 

YA'LL!

YA'LL!!!


IT HAS HAPPENED!!!!!

I GOT THE EMAIL!!!!

I fell out of my bed in excitement and freaked my cat out who was cuddling with me.

(Now begins the agonizing wait for the actual package)

Fabulous news. Now you can start planning!

Out of curiosity..... Does your GWF number now work in the tracker!!??

No they did not need my visa or passport, the shipment is in my husband's name. We just needed to request for ToR and get URN which just came so we are in business there.

I had a temporary freak-out when I read about ToR AND "URN", thinking, Is this urn some other requirement that I didn't know I needed to meet before moving over?

Now I realize that URN is the Unique Reference Number that is provided when the ToR is approved, and that we give to the shipper.

Right? 

Waahooo!  What a long wait!!

Only about 160 days since I've seen my husband.... not counting lol 

We're both worried about a possible second rejection even though there's really no reason why we should. We double- TRIPLE checked everything. But it's ingrained in us now. lol

It just keeps getting better! 

It only took rearranging some furniture and a box fan.

Literally, I caved and checked last night at 11 PM (Central US) because other people were getting emails. It didn't. I just checked it, and now, it says "Decided July 6"

Sorry to freak you out! You're exactly right though so no worries! It took exactly three weeks from when we submitted th ToR to get the URN emailed to us. Our shipment stuff should all be complete now, they're packing and shipping it August 1!

Congratulations, Solaire! Give you kitties a big cuddle in celebration!

There's a book group?! *dead*

Such a good book.

Welp I've done it I've retroactively upgraded to priority tonight 

I am writing up an email right now with my receipt attached...for anyone that has updated retroactively...did you write anything in the email or did you just attach and sent it? Also what did you put in the subject line??

Thanks for any insight in advance

Thank you

I used the subject "Contact Centre Enquiry" after reading that someone was advised to do this after calling the help line, which I know is rubbish! I included my GWF# and a short message saying I had upgraded, attatching the VSF global as  a PDF. I also mailed a physical copy of it to Sheffield and wrote the words Priority Settlement Visa on the outside. Good luck.

I would reference the priority upgrade in the subject line so that they know it is time sensitive.

"Priority Service Upgrade-payment receipt attached" or similar should do it!

Others that have been successful have also mailed a hard copy to Sheffield, so I would do that too if I were you.   Hit them with both barrels!

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your insight!...when did you upgrade??
